Hi All,

The MSVC team recently added FreeCAD as part of RWC testing to detect compiler regressions. And we found some errors when building FreeCAD with ‘/permissive-‘ and ‘/std:c++latest’ option. Can you help to fix these issues? Thanks.

I noticed that some of these errors are come from Boost library, and these issue have been fixed on Boost latest version. After I fixed Boost errors, more errors were exposed by the project itself.
